A member asked:

Can be treated lumbar disc herniation and cervical else besides surgery? what can happend if i allready have pain on my leg and i don't make surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Radiculopathy: Sometimes disc herniation can be treated with pain medicine and physical therapy. The concern is that unstable disc material can cause more than pain, it can cause numbness and weakness. If there is unstable anatomy causing the problem, surgery may be the most effective treatment.
